They are also looking at a possibility of Alderwerield walking on a free too. That's over a hundred million worth of frees.
Christian Eriksen | Signs for Inter
- Thread starter United Pro
- Start date

I was listening to Duncan Castles' podcast (I know he talks shit, but the podcast is quite insightful)
They were talking about how delighted a lot of European clubs are that the English window closes early, because all they have to do is wait for after the 8th of August, and then the English clubs are taken out of the equation, and therefore the price for players comes down.
Top clubs in Europe (Real, Atletico, Juve) are waiting for United to be out of the running, cos they know they will be able to get Eriksen at a knock-down price. I imagine Levy will be happy with this as well because he won't want to strengthen a Top-4 rival.

You might have to wait, but you'll get your chance and if you do it well, she's yours full time.
If he's confident in his abilities, why wouldn't he go
Former City player too. But I think he stated a few years back that he fell out of love with City when the sugar daddies came.
Ed & Co know this but also know that Levy won't be keen on selling to us. This may explain the reports of our interest in Bruno this morning. It may be that we are just increasing our bargaining position i.e. we agree to back off from Bruno if you sell us Eriksen!
This is exactly what I would do and I bet Ed is a lot more of a sneaky get than me!
Yeah, that famous European juggernaut Tottenham Hotspur. A side who barely made it into the top 4 themselves. Let's not act as if this Spurs side are something special. They fluked a Champions League final for the first time in their entire history, and lost comfortably. Stop thinking for the minute, and think the bigger picture. By your logic, Celtic are a better prospect because they have Champions League this year.
Not sure that really makes sense. It paints us as this storm cloud circling above other European heavyweights ready to outbid them for any player they're interested in just because 'we can'
Specifically in Eriksen's case I really doubt we want him enough that we care if he goes abroad, if he were a priority signing they'd of been a lot more of this earlier in the transfer window rather than the last 4 days
yep, too many are painting Levy out wrongly in here.
he will also be aware of the fact Chelsea are likely out of the running for top 4 this year. that's one less competitor. the possibility that Eriksen is the primary reason why United would knock Spurs out of the top 4 seems pretty low to me, especially if they use the Eriksen money to get Bruno. there's a good chance it'll be Tottenham and United both in the top 4, meaning Arsenal would miss out.
They were the only ones keeping pace with Liverpool and City for half a season and even after a total and complete collapse in the League, they still managed to make Top 4. There's no harm in admitting Spurs are a team far likely to do better than United right now and over the past few years.
Doing better than united maybe. But that doesnt mean winning anything at spurs.
Really? I quite like him as our national team coach, so now I'm conflicted.
I think Eriksen would be an excellent signing. Adding him to the midfield would go a long way to fixing our creativity problems, he is a goal threat and can actually deliver quality crosses from corners and free kicks. It would be very surprising if Levy let's him go to a top four rival this summer, though.
From Eriksen's perspective, I would probably just let my contract run out and make a decision next summer. He would probably be able to go to most clubs, if he keeps up his performance levels, and without a transfer fee he could land a great contract. Obviously it is a bit risky, but he has never really had any injuries to speak of.
I know new signings have to sound positive about the club but it's not too much of a stretch for Eriksen to be considering us now given the investment we've made and how glowingly the likes of AWB and Maguire have spoken about what Ole's trying to build here. I can certainly see us being a lot more attractive to him now than at the start of the window
Levy still wont sell to us though and if Eriksen were smart he'd see who's lining up to get him on a pre-contract in January

Åge (Oggy) was playing for City in 81-82 - but has later told that he didn't like the way they were using money.
Because at the moment Levy can tell Juve, Atletico, etc that they have to bid higher because United are circling, even if in reality we're not interested at all (see the Bruno Fernandes example)
Not a chance this happening but he is a brilliant player:
Do you have any sources about Real Madrid telling he's their backup choice? I've tried to find some, but are not able to find any.
Ah I see, guess I wouldn't put it past him
you posted the article yourself on the last page. not sure how reliable it is mind.
He's not even that actually. Zidane does not want him at all and it seems he's getting his way
Robson saying we are 'exploring a move'
We ought to get a move on then...

Let's camp here.
Why do I do it to myself?
I'm in.
I'm in.
That is exactly what everyone said about Toby. Reckon Spurs are willing to take that risk.
Don't do it to yourself boys.
Unzipping as we speak!
Do it 
Well someone's putting this out, be it Levy to whip up an auction or Eriksen's end to sniff out potential suitors
Do it do it do it!
We need an elite #10, because a whole season with Mata and JLingz there is a grim prospect to say the least. If Dybala can't be persuaded, Eriksen is the next best thing. Get it done!
Crap sources but I'd be over the moon if there was actually something in this.
£130m pricetag? 
So Eriksen to United and Fernandes to Spurs possibly. Who would be the better signing? I'd go for Eriksen personally.
Balls placed firmly on the table.
You are correct, he is talking shit.
I would pay 60M for Eriksen even in the last year of his contract. Heck add another 5M more
ESPN and the Evening Standard? Top quality sources there...
